This is the development version of the polygon reducing tool for 3D models.
Vizup SDK is a drop-in solution for developers. Developers trying to incorporate Vizup polygon reduction techniques, into existing or new products and applications will be able to do so easily. The basic application offers the capability to reduce number of polygons, hence reducing rendering time in real-time situations, yet keep the visual quality. Depending of the type of model, you may be able to get a hundred fold reduction. The SDK has a straightforward C++ API and 64 bit support. Any application that needs quick re-rendering, such as in games and CAD/CAM, GIS and other computer graphics software can use this application. The developers claim that the application is scalable. As it handles larger models, they could have more than 10 million polygon. The application does not have any external dependency.
The API has callbacks that track decimation progress. The meshes created for modeling does not have to be any specific file format, even your application can pass these on through the API. The tool helps create multiple models with different level of reductions, one would be able to decide which reduction to use based on the visual appeal. Detailed documentation is supplied that include sample applications and a getting started guide. It is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit versions). This is an excellent application. Integration with other applications makes it a really desirable development tool. The sample is useful.
